So you *all* want to argue that Palestinians militants who target Israeli civilians are not "resisting the occupation"?

So why are they doing it, guys? For kicks?

Regardless, your point is pointless: if they are terrorists then they are **criminals**, and the occupying power has to deal with them as such.

This article points out exactly when an occupying power crosses a line that it should not cross, and it does so when it deploys death squads to liquidate those it sees as its enemies.

That`s what Haaretz is accusing the IDF of doing, and that is a war crime.

These Pals are terrorists who deserve to die?

Maybe they are.

But the point that *you* all refuse to address is this: it isn`t up to the commander to decide that without justifying that decision beforehand, and without rejustifying it afterwards.

The IDF isn`t: the commander is simply pointing a finger at a Pal and saying: I. Want. This. Pal. Dead. Dead. Dead.

A War Crime.
